Hi,
I'm just about to upgrade my 5.2.1-RELEASE system to 5.3-RELEASE.
I thought this would be a good opportunity to ask some questions I've been 
wondering about for quite some time re the info in Updating.

Firstly, I assume (always risky!) that stuff like:
> 20041003:
> The pfil API has gained an additional argument to pass an inpcb.You should 
rebuild all pfil consuming modules: ipfw, ipfilter and pf.

will be rebuilt when I run make buildworld & you only have to worry about 
building it specifically if you selectively build certain parts of the source 
rather than the world?

The release of 5.3 is clearly marked in Updating, but the release of 5.2.1 
isn't so I guess I can ignore stuff before it's release date which is 
24-02-2004?

I've cvsuped the doc collection. There are no instructions in the handbook for 
building doc - does it get built along with the rest of the source when I do 
my make buildworld, or do I need to build it seperately (I assume it's the 
stuff in /usr/src/share/doc ?)

Cheers,

- --
